Title: Improvements in or relating to wall ties
Inventor: BARNETT ALAN GEOFFREY
IPC: E04G23/02
Filed: 1983-03-30
Abstract: The inner and outer skins of a wall are secured together using a wall tie 1 in the form of a hollow tube 2. The wall tie 1 is introduced into holes in the inner and outer skins of the wall so that a first end portion 3 of the tube 2 is accommodated within a hole in one skin, a second, opposite end portion 4 of the tube 2 is accommodated within a hole in the other skin, and an intermediate portion 5 of the tube 2 extends between the inner and outer skins. A settable fixing agent is then injected into the tube 2 under pressure so as to cause the fixing agent to flow outwardly through apertures 7 and 13 in the outer surface of the tube 2 into the spaces surrounding the end portions 3 and 4 within the holes in which they are accommodated, the fixing agent being contained within these spaces by a system of annular flanges 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. A cap 6 is then used to close off the end of the tube 2, and a particularly strong and long lasting connection is established between the inner and outer skins when the fixing agent has set. <IMAGE>

Title: Thermostatic control
Inventor: ROSSI GUGLIELMO
IPC: G05D23/275
Filed: 1983-05-31
Abstract: A thermostatic control has a bellows or other temperature responsive actuator (2) acting on a lever (6) in opposition to a first spring (9), and a second spring (20) acting upon the lever (6), in opposition to the first spring (9), through a latchable switch operating member (16) which forms part of a manually operable latching mechanism (28). In a reset or unlatched condition, for normal cycling operation, the switch (15) is opened and closed at sensed temperatures which are predetermined by the opposed forces exerted on the lever (6) by the two springs (9, 20), while in the latched condition of the mechanism (28) the operating member (16) is latched to remove it from engagement with the lever (6), resulting in a single switching cycle, governed solely by the first spring (9), which is terminated by the automatic resetting of the latching mechanism (28) at a sensed temperature higher than the range of normal cycling operation. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for the production of carbon fibre-reinforced elastomer bodies
Inventor: BODE REINER
IPC: D04H1/64
Filed: 1985-06-11
Abstract: In the production of laminar elastomer bodies which contain carbon fibres as reinforcing components, carbon fibre multifilament yarn is coated with a latex dispersion and, after drying, is chopped up into pieces which are whirled to form a loose fibre feed. The coated fibres do not break up on incorporation in a elastomer matrix and adhere to it well. The thus produced reinforced laminar elastomer bodies may be used in manufacture of flat seals, brake and clutch linings.

Patent GB-2210976-A (GB)
Title: Displacement sensor utilizing phase-shift of flexural waves
Inventor: LANGDON ROGER MARTIN
IPC: G01D5/48
Filed: 1987-10-10
Abstract: A displacement sensor uses a photo-acoustic wave generator 5, 7 to produce transverse acoustic waves in a flange 4 attached to a movable member 1. The relative phases of the waves at the generator 5, 7 and at a phase sensor 15 are compared to provide a measure of the movement of the member 1 relative to another member 2. A computer 18 instructs a frequency controller 9 to set a power supply 8 to a first frequency and a laser diode 7 coupled to an optical fibre 6 heats up a region of the flange 4 provided with a patch of aluminium and generates a flexural wave along the flange. The separation of another region of the flange 4 and another optical fibre 6 varies and a photodetector 13 generates a signal in phase with the flange movement. The phase of this signal is compared at a comparator 15 with that of the supply 18 to generate a first difference signal and this is stored in the computer. This procedure is repeated at a second supply frequency chosen so that two series of calculated possible distances between the fibres 5, 6 contain a common value which is taken as an absolute value. The computer can then keep track of subsequent movement of the body 1 along an axis 3 relative to this absolute value from phase shifts at the two parts of the flange 4. The sensor may be used as an angle sensor on a rotating member with the flange 4 formed circumferentially. <IMAGE>
